The FC Bond Work Index Test Ball Mill was designed by F. C. Bond for use in determining the Bond Index, a measure of grindability and power required for grinding applications. The FC Bond Mills are used in laboratories throughout the world. A copy of Fred C. Bond's Method of Crushing and Grinding for determination of the Bond Index is …

The use of conventional ball mills for grinding in fine size ranges is inefficient and, therefore, vertical stirred mills are becoming increasingly popular in the mineral processing industry. This work presents hypotheses of a new methodology to predict the product size distribution of a vertical stirred grinding mill using the population ...

The values of 44.5/(P1) 0.23 are listed for each mesh size, and the values of (Gbp) 0.82 can be found by interpolation from the table. The average P values are listed in the last column and should be used for tests whenever the actual P value is not available from screen analyses. BOND BALL MILL GRINDABILITY LABORATORY PROCEDURE

Besides particle size reduction, ball mills are also widely used for mixing, blending and dispersing, amorphisation of materials and mechanical alloying [1, 49, 51].

Ball mills scale up well and in fact improve in performed with increasing size. Ball mills are available in sizes from laboratory scale (also called milling jars) of 0.1 usg to large 5,000 gallon mills. Ball mills are available in various contact materials to accommodate contamination and wear requirements.

feed size distribution is different to a standard Bond ball mill work index test. A series of 10 samples for an Andean copper project were treated to both the SAGDesign (and Sd_bwi) test and the standard Bond ball mill work index test with 180 µm closing screens. The SAGDesign results (with the non-standard ball mill feed) are given in Table 1.

Differences up to 6,2% in the Bond ball mil work index can be observed due to different siz distribution in P 80 calculation.. 13 ores were tested using the Bond ball mill grindability test, obtaining P 80 using different interpolation functions. Rosin Rammler's model showed the best behavior, so its use must be not only suggested, but …
